We performed a comparison between Juniper vSRX and SonicWall TZ based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Firewalls solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Provides good firewall security and has great VPN features."
"FortiGate has a strong security topic which allows all of the Fortinet devices to communicate and share information which makes their security more powerful."
"The most valuable features are that it is very simple to configure and to manage."
"With FortiClient, you can easily connect when you are home, check out what you want to do, and connect to your network when you are not at work. You can switch on servers and you can check what is wrong."
"This version is stable. I don't have any issues with this solution, in our environment, it works well."
"The SD-WAN is the most valuable feature."
"We are a visual effects company, and there have been a number of high profile security issues in our industry. This has brought us to a higher standard of security, which our clients are very keen on these days."
"Fortigate's most valuable feature is that it doesn't need a push policy when writing rules."
"The authentication part is seamless and easy for people."
"The hardware is stable."
"I'm told the solution is the fastest, and, so far, I do find that to be the case."
"It is easy for me to go in and update settings, make changes, or add/remove rules or security."
"The product’s quality and performance are better than other vendors."
"It's basic functionality is probably the most valuable feature."
"The architecture of the OS in Juniper is very good. It's flexibility, scalability, and the technicality is also good."
"The tool's most valuable features are routing features and service quality."
"I've found the technical support to be helpful."
"The VPN is quite useful for us, as well as the ATP."
"The best thing about the product is the very good threat prevention output."
"The most valuable features have been content filtering, and the interface is easy to navigate and to use."

"The feature we found most valuable in SonicWall TZ is that it is user-friendly for an administrator."
"The most valuable feature is the protection available, and then ease of use and flexibility."
"Fortigate's hardware capacities could be improved."
"Fortinet FortiGate is not very easy to use. The navigation could be improved to make it easier to use."
"Some features of Fortinet FortiGate are actually fee enabled that are inconvenient for deploying in production. Other issues relate to isolation with Cisco products and your server."
"The solution could be more user friendly."
"For the migration, everyone has a firewall in use and I am selling Fortinet. Typically, I am replacing another firewall. Previously, there was a tool available to convert configurations from one firewall, such as Palo Alto, to Fortinet, but this tool is no longer free. If it could be made free again, it would be very beneficial."
"There is a lot of improvement needed with SSL-VPN."
"Technical support is good but the response time could be faster."
"There is room for improvement related to the logging and reporting aspect."
"We worked with Cisco's support and Juniper's support and there are some differences, to be honest, Cisco is more available and is more competent at addressing our cases."
"It could use more tutorials."
"They could provide support for cloud deployments."
"They really need to improve the GUI."
"The solution could improve its technical support."
"There are too many types of licenses, which can be confusing."
"The reporting can be improved."
"The solution can be improved by allowing automatic updates for the OS devices."
"Sometimes there is a glitch between the network connection. Last time, something happened on our IP phone, the SonicWall team did some updates to fix the issue. However, glitches happen very rarely. I did not experience any other types of problems."
"The interface and technical support are probably the two most important things that I would like SonicWall to improve."
"There can be an improvement in analysis and reporting. We need enhancement on the reporting side."
"It could probably be more user-friendly, and it could be more scalable with releases and subscriptions."
"In an upcoming release, SonicWall could improve by adding cloud management for all devices for free or at a nominal cost. Currently, they have a cloud management platform but is not free. We have the MySonicWall portal for purchasing from them for software updates and renewals."
"The user support could be improved because you have to go outside to get that kind of support."
"The monitoring is a little bit confusing."
"FortiGate has a client DNS in the firewall, but SonicWall doesn't have that. To create or configure a site-to-site VPN tunnel, we have to give a DNS name. Currently, we have to get the DNS name from a third party and then include it in SonicWall, whereas FortiGate has its own client DNS, so it provides a DNS name, and it does not require a third party. There should be a graphical option to view the network utilization and bandwidth usage."
